SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the July 22, 2013 Federal Register (78 FR 
43854), GIPSA announced the designation of East Indiana to provide 
official services under the USGSA, effective July 1, 2013 to June 30, 
2016. Subsequently, East Indiana asked GIPSA to amend their designation 
to include official weighing services. Section 79a of the USGSA 
authorizes the Secretary to designate authority to perform official 
weighing to an agency providing official inspection services within a 
specified geographic area, if such agency is qualified under section 79 
of the USGSA. GIPSA evaluated information regarding the designation 
criteria in section 79 of the USGSA and determined that East Indiana is 
qualified to provide official weighing services in their currently 
assigned geographic area.
    East Indiana's present designation is amended to include Class X or 
Class Y weighing within their assigned geographic area, effective July 
29, 2013 to June 30, 2016.
    Interested persons may obtain official services by contacting East 
Indiana at 765-744-6425.

    Authority: 7 U.S.C. 71--87k.

Acting Administrator, Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards 
Administration.
